| Summary: |
Poverty is seen as a product of human action, deriving from situations connected to the processes of occupation, industrialization and urbanization. Inequality means the discrepancies between social groups related to the distribution of resources and services. The historical process of colonization in Latin America centered in the exploitation of natural resources, in order to satisfy the interests of the foreign market, which caused the exclusive enrichment of people who occupied strategic powerful positions. Among the social costs of poverty and inequality is the propagation of violence, which is enhanced by the feeling of insurrection towards levels of exclusion, leading up to contexts of primary victimization, especially in areas lacking infrastructure. The paper aims to analyze the bonds between poverty, inequality and violence/victimization. We suggest, at the end, the formulation of a positive agenda to reduce poverty and inequality in Latin America as strategy to prevent violence and victimization, with lower costs and greater long-term benefits.The analysis, fundamentally theoretical, includes the evaluation of data, combining deductive method and the technique of bibliographic research with the appreciation of empirical studies. |
